The new office will offer personal injury, property law and administration of estate services to clients in the local area and wider Galway region.

Brendan Glynn, a former Matheson lawyer who recently became principal of Patrick Hogan and Company, said: “Mountbellew is a hub for many people, farmers and businesses located in the region.

“It is clear to me from my dealings with clients that it is a thriving town and is continuing to grow with many services within a large catchment area making it an attractive place in which to set up a full-time office.

“Thankfully, due to the reputable work of my predecessors we have to date had the benefit of a loyal client base in the area and we hope to build on that and increase our proximity to our clients and local businesses.”

Ms King, a native of Mountbellew, said: “I am excited to lead our new office and to be of service to our existing clients and hopefully new clients in the area. We pride ourselves on client service and the new office will enable us offer enhanced levels of service to our clients. We are enthusiastic about the move to our new office and the opportunities this will bring.”
